About A Place To Bury Strangers

Website | Facebook | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | Spotify 

In 2003, Brooklyn’s A Place To Bury Strangers emerged on the scene out of Oliver Ackermann’s psychotropic vision.  Often cited as ‘ the loudest band in New York’,  APTBS is known for their vicious live performances overloaded with all-consuming visuals, experimental sonic warfare, and treacherous stage destruction. On record, it is pop hooks layered with the sounds of broken machinery and syrup.

About SUUNS

Website | Facebook | Instagram | X (Twitter) | Spotify 

Montreal-based experimental rock trio Suuns blend aspects of dark electro, dissonant art rock, and plodding indie rock in a constantly shifting sound. The band toured extensively, and their foggy, amorphous style of song construction grew more sophisticated over the course of albums like 2016's Hold/Still and 2021's The Witness.

About JJUUJJUU

Website | Facebook | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | Spotify 

JUUJJUU is a rotating ensemble of international collaborators, wrangled by Los Angeles musician, Phil Pirrone.

In 2011, Pirrone borrowed an SG and a DL4, and began his exploration of recording looped based music. He later brought song ideas to life with the rhythmic accompaniment of friend and then collaborator, Andrew Clinco (aka Drab Majesty mastermind Deb Demure). JJUUJJUU’s debut release, 2013's FRST EP, and a subsequent stand alone single, "Bleck," began to build excitement about the project. Throughout this period the lineup and instrumentation of JJUUJJUU moved in step with the project’s ethos of ephemera and flux, as JJUUJJUU continued to tour in several different configurations, sharing stages with Tortoise, Allah-Las, Temples, Tinariwen, Night Beats, Les Claypool, Songhoy Blues, and others.

About Slomo Sapiens

Website | Facebook | Instagram | Spotify

Slomo Sapiens originated back in 2016 when lead guitarist & frontman Ceallaigh Manaaki moved across the planet from New Zealand to America. If you believe in horoscopes, ghosts, and fairy tales, you might think it was fate that Ceallaigh met Greg Geiger (bass) and Jon Pritchard (drums) within his first week in Philadelphia. The three piece dropped their debut EP Hot Milk in 2018 as a concise thesis on Psych, Garage, and Sludge Rock.
